This morning Holly slept in until 9:45, I kid you not. I woke up at 9:30, not bothering to look at the clock because I assumed it was 7:30, the time we're always allowed to sleep in until on the weekends, much to our general consternation. In fact, on Friday night, Dave told Henry his only job in the morning was to not get up early because it's Saturday, and Saturday's are for sleeping in. I thought that was hilarious. Poor desperate Dave. Anyway, when I finally rolled over and peered at the clock this morning, it took a few seconds for it to hit me what time it really was, after which, I bolted out of bed and ran for the monitor to make sure I could hear Holly breathing because clearly the only explanation for her sleeping in to such a beautifully late hour would somehow involve doom and disaster. (Yes, I am a fatalist.) Halfway there, I heard one of those satisfying-sounding, heaving sighs that only little kids and dogs can muster. I detoured to the bathroom and marveled at our good luck. Henry had gotten up earlier but had managed to find Spongebob on the TV and was camped out on the couch. We had breakfast at 11. We went ice skating at 1, and, unbelievably, Holly took a nap around 3. Dave had to go up and wake her at 5:30. I'm worried that she's going to wake up a few days from now three inches taller. My baby!

Meanwhile, my doctor's appointment on Friday was horrifying. I had a nasal endoscopy, which I vehemently suggest you avoid, especially if you have allergies because it'll hurt and you'll cry and you'll feel like you need to sneeze. And your nose will run. A lot. And they'll have to pull out the scope so you can blow your nose and wipe your eyes and then they'll run it back in again anyway. So. At the end of May I'm going to have my tonsils removed. The doctor said I'll have a wicked sore throat for about a week, which, been there, done that three times so far this cold/flu season. Dave says I'll lose twenty pounds. I'm not looking forward to it. The doc also said I have sinus disease that's not related to my tonsils and suggested some things I could do for it, which, if they didn't work he could do surgery. I'm not convinced they're not related because the tonsil thing and the sinus thing all started up at the same time and flare up at the same times so my fingers are crossed that one thing will solve the other. In the meantime I'll do some of the things he suggested, such as humidify our bedroom, use a neti pot, etc.

Gah.
